Analysis of Weltanschauung: Our Early Template

Analysis of Weltanschauung: Our Early Template Mezirow (1991) states that a learner’s viewpoint is interrupted when faced with perplexing problems in regards to their Weltanschauung. He defines several steps and phases of transformational learning which gives the learner an adaptation of a new way of thinking (Mezirow, 1991). It’s important to know that transformational learning is based on our own reflection and how we interpret our experiences, ideas, and assumptions gained through prior learning. By looking deeper into ourselves we can reflect on the positive and negative outcomes of our behaviors. Unfortunately, adapting to a new way of thinking is often not done due to fear or biases. Mezirow (1991) considered critical reflection to be the main distinctive entity of adult learning, and described it as the way in which one will prove the validity of his own viewpoints. The following paper will summarize Mezirow’s transformational learning process with my learning transformation on parenting. Growing up with 3 brothers and I being the only girl was great for me. I was always daddy’s little girl and really enjoyed by childhood. My dad was the world to me and I always dreamed about being a mother some day and giving my baby the same love and attention that my dad would give me. I was always surrounded my love and attention and my wish was my command. My daddy always spoiled me, but at the same time he would instill in me the importance of respecting and loving everything and everyone. He always told me learning to respect and also earning the respect of people was very important because it would keep me mindful and make me remember to show proper appreciation towards others and towards things. He also felt that by having my heart open to love it would make me a better person and at the same time it would lead me to a

    Garcia was able to reflect upon her past experience when I used the critical incident questions to understand how she learns. Just as how Brookfield explained how adults use critical reflection to help them become aware of their thoughts and actions in their personal life experience (Brookfield, 1990). With this interview I was able to see what was Ms. Garcia’s subject matter preferences and learning activities. After many triggering factors that crossed her path in life, she had the ability to gain new knowledge or new experiences to help her get through her everyday life. After he husband past, Ms. Garcia realized she had to change her life style and go back to work.…

    While growing up in a family of primarily my mother and other women relatives, I did not have many positive male role models I could look to for guidance. Although my father was not around to guide me through my journey of becoming a man, I was blessed to have a few good men in my life journey i that embraced me and instilled in me the qualities of a man and gentleman. Not only did they teach the qualities of a man, but they also ingrained in me the importance of an education.…

    The weaknesses I have, as revealed via this exercise, can be classified as goals to achieve success, as indicators to analyze whether or not growth has been achieved, is needed, or a state of stagnancy exists as a professional practitioner. Although I consider myself to be a critical thinker, having watched the video presentation Laureate Education (2011) Critical Reflective Practice [Video, Online], (accessed: 23/04/14), there’s room for improvement with respect to not only just being a reflective thinker, but also to introduce a greater degree of reflexive thought processes. Jon Spence in his rhetoric suggests that…

    My mother would always weep to hear the voice of a young man ,who has taken care of himself and his little sister. My father was more than proud of the person who I was becoming, and in that moment I realized these certain changes that were occurring through my life. Numerous of flashbacks of when I had to walk from school holding my young sister's tiny hand, or when I had to bring errands such as vegetables or tortillas for dinner, all the responsibilities I was given everyday to complete, it was to help me become the person I am today. I have seen young people nowadays, and it’s hard to watch them mistreat their parents and not give them the proper love and respect they really…

    According to Mezirow’s (1990) theory of transformative learning, to make meaning means to make sense of an experience (Bass, 1990). The way in which we interpret our experiences influence the decisions we make, and our actions and behaviours. In this paper, I will critically reflect on the four concepts of the nursing metaparadigm using Mezirow’s theory of transformative learning. In addition, I will explore my meaning schemes and meaning perspectives of the four concepts in the nursing metaparadigm. Furthermore, I will write down my own definition of each of the four concepts and further explain them by providing clinical examples of each definition. Moreover, I will determine…

    Transformative learning offers a theory of learning that is uniquely adult, abstract, idealized, and grounded in the nature of human communication. It is a theory that is partly a developmental process, but more as “ learning is understood as the process of using a prior interpretation to construe a new or revised interpretation of the meaning of one’experience in order to guide future action” s (Mezirow 1996, p. 162). Transformative learning offers an explanation for change in meaning structures that evolves in two domains of learning based on the epistemology of Habermas’ communicative theory. First is instrumental learning, which focuses on learning through task-oriented problem solving and determination of cause and effect relationships— learning to do, based on empirical-analytic discovery. Second is communicative learning, which is learning involved in understanding the meaning of what others “ communicate concerning values, ideals, feelings, moral decisions, and such concepts as freedom, justice, love, labor, autonomy, commitment and democracy”(Mezirow 1991a, p. 8). When these domains of learning involve “ reflective assessment of premises . . . [and] of…

    It was difficult because I never had a dad to talk to or give me advice about school, or even teach me to do anything as a father should to his son. Luckily my mother met my stepdad. My step-dad accepted and raised me as if I were his own son. As I was younger, I never understood why my step-dad would always force me to wash my own clothes, clean up after myself after eating, and to learn how to cook so I wouldn’t have to depend on my mom or anybody to provide for me in things that can be learned and done by an eight year old. As I grew older, I realized that everything he taught me was for a purpose. That purpose was to get me ready for life, and to be able to live on my own without anybody’s help. Though my step-dad has taught me skills on how to live on my own, he also taught me characteristics of being responsible, determined, hard-working, organized, understanding, and honest with myself. My step-dad raised my family in a strict environment, in turn, it taught me how to be self-disciplined. My step-dad always preached to never be a follower and to always be a leader, and I’ve shown these characteristics through all the times I’ve succeeded with my family in school, football, and…

    This notion of taking experiences, examining them through several different viewpoints, and then adjusting our practice based on what we have learned is incredibly motivating. When we examine the idea of being reflective within transformative learning, I am drawn to Brookfield’s concepts of reflective practice. Brookfield asserts that “critically reflective practitioners” examine their practice through four different “lenses”.…

    Today, I am eighteen years old, graduating high school. I do not regret one thing about my past life. I admire and respect my father in every way.

With the little I’ve been given, I believe I’ve accomplished a whole. My dad made me perceive that not everything in life is given to you. Life is hard, but I’ve learned how to survive by haven been exposed to the real world at a young…

    There are few relationships in my life that could compare to the complexity of the relationship that I share with my father. I grew up hearing stories of his childhood when he grew up in a military family with eleven brothers and sisters, moving from state to state in the deep humid south. I grew up idolizing him because of the crazy wacky adventures that he and his older brother (his best friend) would always be involved in. I always pictured myself in his brother’s shoes living the memories along with my father. He lived in a time where kids could run out of the house in the morning and not have to return until the moon rises, a time of peace and simplicity. In retrospect I think my dad and his brother must have the worst neighbors as they terrorized the banks of the bayous getting wrapped up into all sorts of mischief. In his stories he was presented with several choices, some good, some bad, he didn’t always make the best decisions but he always learned from them and engraved in me the importance of learning from my mistakes, a character trait that was deeply seeded into me since the day I could comprehend English. The reason that my fathers’ life lessons have stuck with me so well is because he doesn’t preach to me about good and bad, he lets me live my life and is always there to help me when I screw up allowing me to live and learn. The lessons that are most important in life are the ones you learn from your mistakes, something that my dad taught me and I’d never forget.…

    I preferred to be carried by my dad, rather than my mom and there would be times when I was a toddler that I would wait at the front door, counting the hours to pass by to finally be in my daddy’s arms. We were inseparable when he would come home from work. I would help him with his garden in our backyard and pick out the vegetables when he told me it was ready. I wasn’t that typical little girl with the white flowered dresses and pulled back ponytails. I was quite the tomboy that enjoyed spending time outdoors biking and running around with the neighbors. However, because I was not a normal “girl”, as my relatives would call it, I was often discouraged to do the things that I loved. My mom would often tell me to walk like a girl, and act like a girl but I didn’t really understand what she meant. It was this whole controversy about being able to embrace feminism without being criticized. My dad didn’t seem to be bothered, and he enjoyed me being me so that was all that…
